<\/figure>\n

Risk of Rain 2<\/em><\/a> is a rogue-like third-person shooter that many have waited for after the success of the first Risk of Rain<\/em>. The game is updated frequently, but there are already ten characters to choose from. The players have debated which characters are the overall best and which ones are on the worse end of things.<\/p>\n

This sequel is vastly different from the original, since it switched to 3D and added many features the fans wanted. There are\u00a0several returning characters and a whole lot of newcomers, many of which have become crowd favorites and some not so much. Let’s see who’s better than who.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>The Commando<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The Commando is the character that is unlocked by default, which means everyone has to play him at least a bit to unlock other survivors. He’s an all-rounded character that wields dual pistols and can roll to avoid incoming damage. He’s a jack-of-all-trades but, sadly, a master of none.<\/p>\n

This class is heavily outperformed by all the other classes and he doesn’t shine in any aspect of the game. Many players find his gameplay monotonous and repetitive, considering none of his abilities are out of the ordinary. He is what you would expect from a default class.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>The Mercenary<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

This class is absolutely the most fun to play overall. Who doesn’t want to be a samurai that jumps around slicing his enemies in half? Sadly, The Mercenary’s ability kit is not very useful and somewhat lackluster. He has high damage and mobility, but lacks the health necessary to make up for being a melee attacker.<\/p>\n

There are certain items that can make this character insanely strong<\/a>, but they are very situational and are a struggle to find within the real game. Playing as The Mercenary will ensure a good time but you need a lot of skill to successfully finish a run with him. Despite not being good, you need to end a run completely after looping back to the beginning to unlock him<\/a>.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Acrid<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Acrid is a pestilent beast from the Void Fields. He is very complicated to unlock<\/a> and you have to have some level of game knowledge to complete the tasks required to play as this monster. You must travel to the Void Fields through the Bazaar Between Time and activate nine different Void Cells.<\/p>\n

Despite being really hard to get, Acrid isn’t particularly great. His poison is awesome for melting bosses, but since it can’t really be lethal he struggles against the weakest enemies. His\u00a0bulk and AoE are acceptable, but his lack of mobility for a melee fighter makes him vulnerable to most areas and difficult to complete the game with.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Rex<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

This little plant guy is somewhat hard to get, but in Drizzle difficulty it might not be that much trouble. He has the best Damage Per Second our of all the characters, but the skill required to play him properly is too high to make it worth it. To unlock him, you must grab the Fuel Array from the starting capsule and bring it to Rex in the Abyssal Depths.<\/p>\n

His high damage may make him feel promising at first but in the long run it is difficult to stay alive when so many things are hitting you at the same time. Some items may make him more capable to survive, but since it’s never reliable to get certain items it’s not a viable strategy.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>The Captain<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Not much is known about The Captain. He is the latest survivor<\/a> added to the game, and is unlocked by killing the final boss<\/a> and\u00a0beating the game<\/a> on any difficulty. His kit is very different from all the other survivors, and many players find it confusing to start playing as him. His abilities are situational and have strange uses you won’t really find in normal play.<\/p>\n

His special is limited to two uses per stage and his normal attack is so slow he will struggle against fast-moving enemies. His abilities may be more salvageable when playing multiplayer, since he is more of a support kind of character, but in solo play he is not recommended.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>The Artificer<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The Artificer fits the role of a mage; she shoots powerful beams of fire that destroy her enemies whilst also freezing her way onto the hardest of stages. She isn’t\u00a0particularly\u00a0hard to get, you just need to get ten Lunar Coins into the Bazaar Between Time and the Newt will free her.<\/p>\n

Not everything is a strength for this powerful sorcerer, however. Her cooldown times are massive and her mobility is very limited. A skilled player will make her shine in the battlefield but most won’t be able to get past the second Teleporter. Overall, The Artificer is a glass cannon that should be handled with care, or she won’t get very far. If you want a challenge, try using the Artifact of Glass<\/a> and see how fast you can destroy the bosses.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>The Loader<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

This lady has been outfitted with robot arms that pack a colossal punch. She’s mobile, tanky, and overall can decimate bosses more easily than anyone else in the game. Her kit allows her to be versatile but at the same time be focused on what she does best; dealing pure and unadulterated damage.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, there is one glaring weakness that all melee survivors share: flying enemies. The Loader is no exception; they have to spend their abilities just to get rid of one or two wisps but the screen will already be flooded with twelve more. This can pose a massive threat to Loader players if they’re not armed with the proper items.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>The Huntress<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

A returning survivor from the original Risk of Rain<\/em>, The Huntress is the staple damage dealer of both games. She has a bow that fires homing arrows and a dash that teleports her away from all trouble. Her utility and secondary skills also deal very decent AoE damage to get her out if trouble.<\/p>\n

It is important to know, however, that The Huntress is the character with the least base HP stat in the game. This means that she can easily get overwhelmed if enemies are allowed to rack up. Her good burst damage should be good against everything, and arming her with a Ukulele will make things way simpler for her.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>MUL-T<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

This funky little robot man is the most versatile survivor in the game, and has way more pros than he has cons. He has a lot of potential for damage and can traverse the world quickly (an absolute benefit in a game in which the difficulty is always rising). MUL-T also has the highest health and attack rate, making him one of the overall best.<\/p>\n

His nail gun can switch between quick-fire mode and single-shot mode, which serve as a machine gun and a sniper respectively. This gives MUL-T a way to deal with every enemy without too much trouble, plus his inherent bulk from his armor stat helps him soak up damage that would be fatal to any other survivor.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>The Engineer<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The Engineer is the best class in the game overall. It has high damage and durability, can melt bosses, and can also have incredible sustain if equipped with some Bustling Fungus. His sentry turrets can damage foes without the player having to aim or focus on them, and they also proc any items The Engineer has, such as the previously mentioned mushroom.<\/p>\n

All in all, Engineer is absolutely the best class for Solo play, with its only con being that it has poor mobility. It’s great DPS makes it amazing for boss busting and it’s utility makes him able to survive even the hardest fights. If you’re looking to challenge the Monsoon Difficulty<\/a>, then The Engineer is your best bet.<\/p>\n
